They have...at least I think they have. I read there was 1 more coming, a special edition something or other but then they will carry the name over to a completely new bike later on.

Probably because they are simply annoyed at that special edition MV that punts out 197bhp. Must. Go. Faster.

I think that is probably the ugliest bike i have ever seen!!!!!

It's one of those things you love or hate. Nothing between. Like Marmite I suppose? Personally I love it. It looks so imposing in the flesh and the power. Pure incarnation of power.

It looks like the Fat lady at the Opera

It's not ugly, it's different.

Not doubt it would bring the house down. I wouldnt call it ugly - maybe its just the pic - it makes you want to step back 10 metres to get a better look.

Nice to know it exists.
I have absolutely no desire to own one.
Excess overkill imo.

Indeed - anyone going that quick in the rain with 180 bhp on tap gets my respect.

Have never liked the looks of the Busa and the new one is uglier IMHO. The current bike looks a lot better sans hump and I think this one will too.

not something I hanker after, but you got to admire the sheer speed of the thing.

Respect it oh yes, like the look of it (from that picture and others I have seen so far) oh no...

Still, I bet its ear-bleedingly fast!!
